(7:41:41 PM) Mikhalia: but at least they didn't fucking sparkle.
(7:41:50 PM) Mikhalia: And that was the 80s, when everything fucking sparkled.

1) Is there an handy way to do nested list items? The only way I have found is like this:

[ul=circle]
[li]This is one sub-item[/li]

Once upon a time, in a wondrous land far away, lived a peasant girl named Annabella. She loved to help her Grandfather Barkingturtle with his sheep-shearing and would sit upon his knee, listening to his stories about the times and places that he has seen.

With the dropping of level caps in CoP areas, a lot of content has become suddenly soloable. I'd call it a safe bet that everything 50-cap or lower can be solo'd, and a skilled player could possibly solo the airship and Tenzen fights. The past couple nights, I've run around completing some content

Just wanted to throw out the fact that crossfire does indeed "activate" for the beta, but for me, at least, it lowers FPS by a TON (2 5870s), I mean it was just bad. During an opening cutscene with everything maxed the lag was painfully obvious, where as using one card it was perfectly fluent and cl

•Guildleve availability/cooldown
Right now, there is a 2 day cooldown for guildleves. This is not enough for a single person, but the aim was that people would share guildleves to extend this time. This is why we have the leve-link and the bonus rewards for higher difficulty selection, to make it

With so many people returning and starting new I think this kind of post deserves to pop up on the forum again, many people complain how dated FFXI's graphics look, which is sad because it's actually very easy to boost them up to look pretty amazing.

All problems completely solved.
Turns out the flickering of the crystal, and water dissappearance were because of the driver, so 10.12 fixed that, but the lag and slowdown, was nothing to do with the GPU.
